With fuel costs going way up everyone is scrambling to save money on their fleets and trucks. An article in Heavy Duty Trucking talks about some measures companies are using to do this
The biggest is the use of an onboard feedback system to tell the driver his or her performance on the road. The driver can then make changes with their driving techniques, uneccessary idling, and tractor speed.
Basically the modern truck driver is being trained on the spot how to drive with efficiency in mind. The Driver Feedback Systems are like low pressure mobile trainers. This simple on the spot training system can reduce fuel waste by as much as 24% though results vary.
